Introduction
While it is generally believed that reliability prediction methods should beused to aid product design and product development, the integrity andauditability of the traditional prediction methods have been found to bequestionable, in that the models do not predict field failures, cannot be usedfor comparative purposes, and present misleading trends and relations. … [Read more...]

In a research project at the Royal Institute of Technology we have developeda pump based on a new fluid pump principle with no valves. The pump consists oftwo fluid flow rectifying diffuser/nozzle elements which are connected to theinlet and outlet of a pump chamber with an oscillating pump diaphragm, as shownin Fig.1. The diffuser/nozzle element has a lower flow resistance in … [Read more...]

Abstract
This article describes how Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) can help inthe selection and/or design of a heat sink for electronics cooling applications.CFD modeling complements the other tools in the thermal tool kit: calculationsbased on approximations and correlations; and experimental work. Whether theapplication includes single or multiple heat sinks, the … [Read more...]

The accurate prediction of the operating temperatures of critical electronicparts at the component-, board- and system-level is seriously hampered by thelack of reliable, standardised input data. The DELPHI project is addressing thisproblem by the development and experimental validation of thermal models of avariety of `generic' electronic parts.
DELPHI (which stands for … [Read more...]

Event Details

It is clear by the number of component and system recalls, by many of the best companies in the world, that product reliability is not improving. To address the issue, this seminar is organized by Techwatch in collaboration with prominent experts in the industry and academia.

During the two days, presentations about various aspects of reliability in system and product development will be presented and discussed. Due to its impact and scale, the subject is particularly suited for a multidisciplinary and inter-company approach. Our goal is to stimulate open discussions that might culminate in partnerships, whether or not in a European context.

Event Details

The Student Poster and Networking Session is open to all students who have an accepted technical paper, and provides opportunities for them to present their research and interact with other conference attendees from industry and academia. There will also be a networking element that allows interested students to distribute resumes and get connected to industrial representatives.

Travel Grants Students who apply will be competitively selected for travel grants. For eligibility and submission criteria please visit:

Awards Outstanding posters will be selected for awards based on technical merit, clarity and self-sufficiency of the content, novelty and originality of the work, overall impact of the poster display, and oral presentation at the poster session. The poster awards are independent of the paper awards, and the same work is eligible for winning both awards based on the specific judging criteria for each award.
